Fishtales Fish Chip Shop - Bournemouth

Lovely cod and chips (only 2nd to my favorite in Poole).

The food is always fresh and crispy. I was even offered free fish because it had been cooked 30 mins previous as an accident but it was still absolutely delicious!

The best chip shop in town by far. Highly recommended, and I 've lived in Bournemouth for 25+ years, so tried most of them. Fantastic 'Fishtales ' all round! Hygiene is excellent. As soon as you walk in you can see and smell the cleanliness, fresh oil and are welcomed with a smile. Staff are polite, friendly and genuinely warm hearted. To the food. High quality ingredients, the chips are perfectly cooked, generously sized, taste great. 10/10 Pea fritters full of flavour, crisp batter served as a potion of three mini delights. 10/10. Curry sauce is amazing. Chinese style, perfectly balanced flavour, not too sweet, served at perfect temperature for dipping. As you can imagine the fish is sustainably sourced and cooked to perfection. The packaging is eco friendly, cardboard and food paper in the box. Top marks. Reasonably priced. Bonus Free sauce of your choice with every meal, and it 's quality sauce! This place is a gem, and you 'll be sure to taste the passion for quality, and excellent service by a local family run business. You won 't be disappointed with Fishtales.

1st time here … won’t be the last. Never had fish so beautifully cooked, white flakey just perfection … chips really good too … large fish was massive .. thought I wouldn’t eat it all …. But I did : yumm quality and staff really nice. Best in area without any doubt

Fantastic chippy. Food is brilliant. Reasonably priced. If you manage to stumble in you'll also find a friendly smile behind the counter
